Tolbert Elementary School is proud to recognize the outstanding creativity and talent displayed by our students in the 2026 Red Ribbon Week "Drugs Don't Work" Art Contest. This year's theme, "Be a Hero, Stay Drug Free," encouraged students to express the importance of making healthy, drug-free choices through their artwork.

We are excited to congratulate the following Tolbert Elementary winners:

First Place: Kinley Kirby

Second Place: Marilyn Leos Reyes

Third Place: Lily Wiley

A special congratulations goes to Kinley Kirby, who earned first place for the second consecutive year. Kinley's artwork has been selected to appear on the official 2026 "Drugs Don't Work" poster, sponsored by Mannington Mills, and will be showcased throughout Red Ribbon Week, October 26-30, 2026. Kinley will also be recognized at the Art Reception hosted by the Harris Arts Center.

We are incredibly proud of these talented students for using their artistic abilities to promote healthy lifestyles and inspire others to make positive choices. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
